"Included in this podcast is a first-ever (for Engadget at least) on-air unboxing. That's right, hear the sounds of a Gears of War 2 Zune getting ripped open. As a treat to our faithful listeners, we'll be giving away that very special edition 120GB Zune! Follow the instructions after the break to learn how to make it yours."

Engadget unboxed the Gears of War 2 Zune on their recent podcast. That’s not the best part though. Engadget decided they’d rather give it away than keep it for themselves so if you want one, now is the time to act! This is, unfortunately, only a contest available to people in the United States but if you’re a Gears of War fan then this is definitely a contest for you!

Follow this link for all the contest details! Act quickly though since you only have until Friday, November 14th.

“Specifically, Microsoft has laser-etched that pesky little "Crimson Omen" onto a glossy black Zune 120, pre-loaded the device with 244 pieces of "Gears of War" media -- the soundtrack, concept art, behind-the-scenes vids and so forth, nothing you won't be able to find elsewhere -- and squeezed it all into some "collectible" Gears packaging, featuring our testosterone-addled protagonist pondering the meaning of life. The whole kit will run you $280, with pre-orders at Walmart.com and Amazon.com”

If there’s one thing that Microsoft likes to do, it’s make special edition Zunes. There’s been more of them than I can count! But that’s ok, I happen to really like most of them. It works out well that they have a couple of great properties like this one that allow them to really give a unique Zune too. I’d say this is the perfect gift for any “Gears of War” fan. (Well, other than a copy of “Gear of War 2” of course.) Engadget has some more pictures too!
